law. if any changes are made in the future, they will be made with the workings of congress and the president. this convention will not force this change. we meet all of the standards established in this convention when it comes to disabilities and president george herbert walker bush a republican when he negotiated and crafted the treaty said as much. of course there is those who still question. every time we open a door of opportunity, every time we've expanded the definition of democracy to include another group at least partially if not fully excluded. there've always been been voices of concern and worry. there have been those who set were not ready for that much change or they would say i'm not opposed to people of color, but if you force every hotel and restaurant across america in interstate commerce to open their doors, that may be going too far. after listening patiently we have ignored them and move forward with the new definition of freedom in this country a new definition of o
